There are some products that foodservice operators around the world depend on for flavor every day of the year. Garlic, herbs and spices are among them. They are integral to the true essence and flavor of nearly every menu item, and chefs depend on them to create dishes that are unique, flavorful and memorable to their customers.

Spice World, headquartered in Orlando, FL, is a leading producer and distributor of garlic and a long list of other herbs and spices. It distributes its products throughout North America and to many offshore countries.

Louis Hymel, director of purchasing and marketing for Spice World, said the company’s products are distributed and used in every segment of the foodservice industry.

“Spice World’s products are sought out by every segment because of the high quality and value-added benefits,” said Hymel. “We invite visitors at the PMA Foodservice Conference & Expo in Monterey, CA, to stop by our booth, number 128, to view our extensive line, including our full line of value-added garlic products.”

Hymel will be joined by Mitch DiMarco, vice president of foodservice for Spice World to greet and meet with existing and potential clients at the event.

Spice World’s products are very diverse in size and in their value-added benefits. Hymel said that from home consumers to foodservice chefs, along with many industrial processors, its products stand out in many attributes, including their outstanding flavor.

Founded in 1949 by Andy Caneza, Spice World’s mantra is that good business delivers tasty results. The company continues to prove that integrity and innovation harvest incredible quality. From the fertile soil of its farm in the San Joaquin Valley in California, to its coast-to-coast distribution and leading-edge processing plants, Spice World claims to consistently deliver the freshest, most flavorful supply of garlic nationwide.

Hymel explained that the company’s foodservice division is a consistently increasing segment within its channels of distribution, with strong and annually growing numbers.

“We continue to add new packaging equipment improving efficiencies and sustainability in order to keep up with today’s trends, demands and our own dedication to the environment,” he said. “Spice World is a leader in private labeling packing for a variety of garlic products. Our in-house research and development department along with complete lab capabilities enables us to cater to our customers’ needs by offering product processing to specification. We currently have a new grader being installed for the coming packing season to help us keep up with the growing demand.”
